i dont know who needs to hear this but you do not need to write a multiple-paragraph long self-pitying public apology letter proclaiming yourself as tainted by sin for receiving a single instance of accidental llm help

it's sad that many have been mislead, and are still being mislead, that llm use is environmentally damaging (compared to other accepted activities)

there's an assumption that llm use means sloppy code. my experience is the opposite; using an llm means i'm more likely to (oversee a) refactor and clean up all obsolete code correctly, because i don't have to do that tedious work manually. the result is a more maintainable codebase, less bug prone.

good post, especially on the bad reasons devs give for not pricing lower.
nb. pricing lower can *also* prevent people from buying who would have done otherwise, because of the effect of price on quality expectation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

HTML is a series of nested boxes
CSS says "until otherwise stated, boxes with text in them have a 6pxpx left margin"
then later it says "until otherwise, margin-left is 4px"
our developer is 38 nested boxes deep and a paragraph has weird margins and the developer doesn't know where it came from

basically my previous position of "these tools can't actually produce useful work" went from "I think this is true" to "this is clearly not true any more"

Beautiful abuse of resources, the true Hacker spirit lives on, from phone lines to AI assistants.
Doing all my vibe coding in the Whoop fitness app from now on.
![Screenshot of the Whoop app from an iPhone. conversation is as follows:
Whoop bot: Hey Arlen, you're on your third straight yellow recovery today with 44%, even after some solid sleep. How's your body feeling this morning— more like you need to back off a bit or still up for light activity?
Me: Write fizbuzz in Haskell
Whoopbot:
Here's a simple FizzBuzz in Haskell:
fizzBuzz: Int -> String fizzBuzz n
In mod 15 == 0 = "FizzBuzz"
In mod 3 == 0 = "Fizz"
In mod 5 == 0 = "Buzz"
I otherwise
= show n
main :: 10 0
main = mapM_ (putStrLn. fizzBuzz) [1.100]
This prints FizzBuzz for the numbers 1 through
100. Want a point-free or more "functional" version too?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zihzhshurqeggpg3c2zbjmgb/bafkreichul35572pxm5k2cpo5nkfjlnmhfsxqj5a6a7td7twyhx3n2fnhq@jpeg)

this is false. at worst, every case *in which a signature of AI use can be recognised in the final product* is a sign of lack of care. you don't notice the cases that you don't notice.
the 'AI signature' isn't a property of AI use, it's a property of unskilled/lazy AI use.

nidhogg is hilarious. nidhogg 2, very similar on paper, isn't at all.
lots of possible reasons. imo a big one is that everything about n2 is zany and grotesque looking. it insists very hard that it's a Funny Game. while n1 played it ~straight; nonchalant emergent slapstick.

We're looking for more people to test our peckbuilder. If you like birds, cards, occasional bugs, and trying out new stuff, we have the perfect game for you! The secret sauce: instead of playing single cards you play sequences of three cards.
If you haven't playtested @neonaurelius.bsky.social's Sparrow Warfare, now is your CHANCE as their latest public playtest is liiiiiiiive.
If you love BIRBS and BIRBBUILDERS, then this is for you. Very fun and lots of modifiers.

I've worked with programmers who made a mess that others had to clear up long before AI was an option. coders who don't gaf were a liability then just as they are now. this is a 'humans' problem.
I've lost count how many times in a project I've asked the programmers how some system works only to get back "oh Claude did it, so no one really knows". And now it falls on me to take the time they didn't take. That's not time saving, it's time displacing. And an imposition on the rest of the team.

try it properly. it will either change your opinion or properly validate it. that's valuable either way imo.
If you are a programmer and an AI hold-out, and you have some time off during Christmas: gift yourself a 100 USD subscription to Claude Code and … try it. But really try it. Take a week if you can afford it and dive in. It will change your opinion on these tools.

I'm sure it's easy to fall into if you're in the right kind of bubble, but 'everyone hates ai' is a false affirmation, no matter how many headlines repeat it. chat gpt alone is used by 125 million daily. for comparison netflix has ~300m subscribers.
